Cry of the Orphans

Yo, Onesmas Kachabe here

Chikankata production

Listen to this cry, listen...

Small pikin lost their baba, lost their mama

No one fi care, no one fi hold them

The land that papa work, work with him hands

Relatives come scatter, scatter everything

Ayy, where is the justice?

Where is the heart in this world?

Orphans cry in the night, cry so loud

But nobody hear, nobody see the pain

Cry of the orphans, cry for the lost

Parents gone, land gone, everything cost

Cry of the orphans, reaching to sky

Chukwu see us, God don't pass by

Cry of the orphans, mercy come down

Restore what was stolen, heal this ground

Relatives with greed heart, no shame at all

They take the inheritance, leave nothing for small ones

Nine years old, ten years old, no school

No food on table, cold at night

Yoh, this is wahala too much

The Bible say: "Protect the fatherless"

But human heart don turn to stone

Orphans crying but ears done deaf

Chukwu, abeg hear our prayer

These small ones need your mercy

Restore the lost, heal the broken

Justice must come, justice must shine

Cry of the orphans, cry for the lost

Parents gone, land gone, everything cost

Cry of the orphans, reaching to sky

Chukwu see us, God don't pass by

Onesmas Kachabe, Chikankata production

This is for the orphans

May justice come...
